SUBWAY roasted chicken breast on wheat

[JoNeS]

I have been getting these lately. A footlong double meat roasted chicken breast on wheat bread. Completely plain, meat and bread only. I have been eating 6 inches at a time and counting that as one meal.

Just because its more convienent than hauling around my tupperware and forks.

Wanted to know how healthy these things are, and if its ok to supplement with them a handful of times a weak instead of my normal chicken & baked potato or chicken and brown rice.

Why not add some green peppers or other green veggies to it, too?

I believe the chicken is processed and not "real" fresh grilled chicken, and the bread has a lot more carbs than you'd think it would (and in my opinion tastes like crap). But it's probably ok sometimes, not doing the Jared-thing.

I know there chicken is good for ya, just wondering if the wheat bread is an ok subsitute for a complex carb.

They also have honey oat bread, I don't know if thats better.

The bread is pretty much junk.....loaded with sodium, sugars, and HC oils............So, is it a GOOD replacement? No..........

Their wheat bread isn't much more than white flour with a little whol wheat flour thrown in for color and probably has added sugars. Honestly, it would be much better to purchase 100% whole grain bread and grill your own chicken on a foreman or whatever. Carrying around tupperware is the cross we have to bear for a healthy lifestyle. However, tubway isn't bad if it's an emergency (travelling).

Still better than a quarter pounder with cheese.

Get it tossed on one of those atkins wraps and toss in some green veggis. Way better than eating at Rotton ronnies
